5 Channel IR Tracking Sensor

The BFD-1000 Five Channel Infrared Tracking Sensor is a line tracking sensor module that uses infrared (IR) sensors to detect and follow a track or path, such as a black line on a white surface. This type of sensor is typically used in line-following robots, automated systems, or any project where detecting a line or a path is required.

Features of BFD-1000:

• Sensor Type: Infrared sensors (IR emitters and receivers) that detect changes in reflectivity from a surface.
• Number of Channels: Five channels (typically 5 individual sensors) that help provide a more accurate and wider detection range for line-following applications.
• Digital Output: The module generally provides digital output signals (HIGH or LOW), indicating the presence or absence of the line beneath each sensor.
  • HIGH (1) when detecting a dark surface (e.g., black line).
  • LOW (0) when detecting a lighter surface (e.g., white background).
• Voltage Supply: Operates at 5V DC (common for most sensors and microcontrollers).
• Compact Size: Suitable for use in small robots or applications with limited space.
